46. Why don't we know the vote seperation?

Did Kris win by a landslide which makes American Idol judges look stupid for endorsing Lambert so much?

How many votes di Kris win by?

Why isn't TMZ reporting that?

47. America voted and chose their Idol. America wanted an Idol, not a Drag Queen.

48. # 31 has it correct. Kris is a nicr guy but in a couple of years he probably will have another calling.

49. THis week is going to put an end to these kind of shows, with Shawn Johnson winning DWTS, then Kris winning Idol. This is ridiculous, and if the best can't win, then why have them? This is going to cost the record company money, as Kris will be a one record deal, and no one will buy it. While Adam will be a sensation for years to come. I AM SICK TO DEATH OF THESE IDIOT PREDJUDICEE PEOPLE DOING THIS CRAP. And the supposed religious nuts. If you were truly what you claim to be, you would have been honest and Kris didn't even belong in the top 13, let alone the winner up against the great talents on that show this year. He isn't that good. It was so refreshing to see the real talent of so many in the 13, but Kris was not one of them. He butchered so many songs, while Adam and Danny nailed everyone of theirs. That just isn't right. I think you idiots that did this, should have to pay for him to cut a record, and not make the people on the show have to be out that money for your ignorance, and possible cost us all these shows that we normally enjoy. We looked forward every week to Adam and Danny, and their unending talents. I will buy anything these two put out, but I will never buy a Kris Allen record. He will probably just go on to put our Christian music, but what a shame you cost the truly talented their due.

50. To Kris Allen... Congrats on winning last night! I heard your duet with Keith Urban on the radio this morning and it was simply beautiful!!

To Adam Lambert... Thanks for making American Idol not boring this year. You are blowing it up on the I tunes downloads and can take that to the bank!! Can't wait to see you perform live. You're a thousand shades of awesome.

Major props to both these guys. They will both do well.

51. Watching last nights show I was appalled by the results. I could not believe that a second rate singer would beat someone who is going to be legendary. I am talking about the complete fiasco of Kris who is nothing more than boring, beating Adam Lambert who I feel is the new KING of ROCK. I do not know what is wrong with the youth of America who obviously have no taste or knowledge of music what so ever. Kris should have never been in the final 3 let alone win and I am sure he feels the same way. He has no talent and should not be even in Adam Lambert's league. Last night Adam once again blew everyone off the stage even upstaging the other legendary performers. Even when he was singing a duet with Kris and Queen he blew him right out of the water. I do not think we will be hearing much from Kris but watch out America Here comes ADAM LAMBERT

:can anyone remember the winner 4 yrs ago Taylor Hicks. No but we all LOVE Doughty Like than AMERICA YOU GOT IT WRONG

52. Kris will be forgotten and washed-up in a few years; Adam is far more talented and will be a superstar forever.

53. I think the bottom line is Kris is more mainstream. His vocals is more relaxing to listen to then all the screaming that Adam does. And Adam is a very talented guy. He will have absolutely no problem making it in the music industry. It also didn't help that the media (Perez, TMZ) was more less shoving Adam on ppl. Everyone has their own opinion. And their opinions spoke very loud lastnite on the finale.

54. America, you finally got it right! After screwing the pooch last November and electing a muslim president, we got it right this time. Who cares who has the better voice or sells the most albums? We disapprove of gay marriage and we didn't vote for a limp wristed queen to be our next American Idol. Way to go Kris!! Way to go Christian America!!

55. Randy is not really being honest here; he favored Adam. Adam is very talented and should have won. IMO.

Posted at 11:13AM on May 21st 2009 by There is no such thing as reality tv

56. I have two things to say..first Taylor Hicks is about the music..not the venue, not the crowds, the guy just likes to sing and I think he would sing at the opening of a gas station because he loves to sing and where isn't his issue. I don't like it that just because he didn't get the opportunity to have a backing by a record company that he isn't succesfull because I think he is still living his dream. He can sing and he has a stage presence about him so leave him alone. He didn't and doesn't have illusions of grandeur, he always said it's the "singing" and that is what it's about for him

As for Adam Lambert, America got it right because I think Adam is the only person who could front Queen and be successful. He is amazing..I loved Queen and always wondered if there was anyone who could replace Freddy and I think Adam can...I hope he gets the chance.

57. #47 - you are beyond delusional. Go put on your tin foil hat and crawl back under your rock.

58. Everyone who didn't vote for Adam is HOMOPHOBIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 The American Idol results prove it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

59. Mormons? Idiots who think that you get your planet after you die. Who believe that their poop-head prophet received the word of God from a white snake. Who endorses the rape marriages of middle-aged men with children! Satan's children is what you are! The flaming fudgepacker lost because America does not want a gay Idol, America wanted a real man not a she/male. Adam yelled and screamed but she is not a singer. Adam will find a good career on Broadway with the other swishers. Congrats Adam!

60. Adam is nothing but a swishing queen who yelled and screamed his way through the competition. The gay agenda lost, YEAH!
